150ish lawyer firm mostly in CA. $80,000.00 base with $45,000 bonus this year based on hourly. Workers' Compensation defense. Firm is full service. Second year attorney going into third, expecting 10% raise.

Mind sharing what your background was prior to landing this job? Sounds like a great gig

T14-> 3 Years Biglaw Specialty Practice

This sounds like an awesome outcome. Do you mind saying if your original firm was Vault-ranked?

NYC Vault-ranked firm, though not well known in current secondary market. I should also emphasize that bonus/stock grants are discretionary. If the company has a bad year or I have a bad performance review, I could get a lump of coal. Not like many biglaw firms where everyone who hits hours gets the same bonus.

Secondary southern market. Satellite office of V50 firm. NYC scale with NYC market bonuses but average billables range from 2350-3000 in this office depending on the person and the practice--i.e., not always worth the extra cash compared to local, smaller firms in town.
